The acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo says President Muhammadu Buhari has been growing the Nigerian economy in spite of difficulties in the country.


He said this at Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom, on Wednesday, August 8 during the official defection of former Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Godswill Akpabio from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).


Represented by the Secretary to the Federal Government, Mr Boss Mustapha, the acting President, who described Akpabio’s action as “uncommon defection”, said that the Federal Government under the leadership of Buhari had provided jobs to teeming youths through the N-Power programme in the last three years.



He added that “the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidates put together would not defeat Buhari in 2019 general election.”
He urged the people of Akwa Ibom to have faith in the Federal Government and assured them that things would improve soon.
He said “I came to thank Akwa Ibom people for their remarkable show of solidarity. I came to tell you that the Government of President Muhammadu Buhari loves the people of Akwa Ibom.


“I want to put on record that the entire South South has been taken over by APC-led government. I can assure you that the hearts of the President, the acting President are with you.”
The Senate Leader, Sen. Ahmed Lawan, who was in Ikot Ekpene with over 30 senators, said that the defection of Akpabio to APC had stirred the PDP to foundation, describing it as “more than the 14 senators who defected from APC to PDP last two weeks.”


He described the former Minority Leader as a nationalist who believed in the nation and the administration of President Buhari.
Lawan said “the declaration of one and only senator in the history has stirred Akwa Ibom and indeed Nigeria.
“This defection has swallowed all previous defections. From this moment, Akpabio is our member. He always consider national interest first and believes in united Nigeria.”


The National Chairman of APC, Adams Oshiomhole, commended Akpabio “for doing what Senate President, Bukola Saraki, could not do by resigning his position.
Oshiomhole said that “with a senator like Akpabio, the party was sure to capture the entire South South in 2019.”

He assured that Akpabio would enjoy all rights and privileges accruing to members, saying “let me assure you that the President and party leaders of the progressives welcome you wholeheartedly into APC.”
He urged Akwa Ibom people to join forces with the progressives to sustain the change that Nigeria badly required.




Meanwhile, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has appointed former Senate minority leader, Godswill Akpabio as the party's leader in Akwa Ibom state.
We gathered that Oshiomhole made the disclosure on Wednesday, August 8, at the Ikot Ekpene stadium, venue of the reception rally for Akpabio who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to All Progressives Congress (APC).


The APC chairman also taunted the PDP, describing it as a torn umbrella in the face of the current ‘’terrible political weather’’, noting that the party misruled the country for 16 years.

Buhari/Osibanjo did well in fixing the economy. These guys are heaven sent, if not for them the economy would've been worst. Oga Jona's inexperienced way of handling the economy, cause the recession that follows.
Thank God this Administrations experience handling, has brought us out of the recession.

Yes, that is obvious to the people that are not blind.
Keep up the good work FG.
I believe in you guys.


In reality do we really think PDP will do better if given another opportunity?
From 1999 when the PDP took over the reins of power, national assets like NITEL, NEPA, NIPOST, Nigerian Airways, NRC, Nigerian SHIPPING LINE, Nigeria Machine Tools, DELTA STEEL, OSTM, National OIL, DUNLOP TYRES, Nitex, Nascon, Dicon, MICHELIN TYRES,ASABA TEXTILE, KADUNA TEXTILE, Nichemtex and NIC were all alive in 1999. Millions of Nigerians were working in those firms and contributing to the GDP. Poverty level was far lower.. But by 2015, the PDP have killed and buried all the companies and wiped off over 1 million jobs and creating an army of unemployed in place.... Nasige

It is getting clearer that "PDP destroyed the country for 16 years " campaign option won't work this time and they are in search of a better lie to feed us with.

Daura economy

He added that “the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidates put together would not defeat Buhari in 2019 general election.
This is 100% sure

The APC chairman also taunted the PDP, describing it as a torn umbrella in the face of the current ‘’terrible political weather’’, noting that the party misruled the country for 16 years.
They have nothing to offer anymore and the APC should make us proud by taking our country to greater height.
The thieves in PDP are only regrouping once more to steal.

The National Chairman of APC, Adams Oshiomhole, commended Akpabio “for doing what Senate President, Bukola Saraki, could not do by resigning his position.
Oshiomhole said that “with a senator like Akpabio, the party was sure to capture the entire South South in 2019.
Na so e go be.

Continue your work my president.

I don't need one. Am sound minded and physically healthy. I reason critically without stupid sentiments. Look at prices for commodities including petroleum products and exchange rate. Compare past administrations with this jamboree aka administration. Do you have primary knowledge of statistics? Apply.

Trash.
*How can you call a President who said corruption is not stealing.
*A president who collabo with other politicians to loot Nigeria dry.
*A president who used the police and DSS to lockdown and intimidate the National Assembly members.
*A president who's wife intimidate and dealt with a democratically elected Governor (Amaechi).
* A president who got drunk after seeping Ogogoro at an International summit, and slept off in a rest room while the summit was going on.
*A president who sleeps with married woman (Alison Madueke, Stella Oduwa)
*A president who plunged Nigeria to recession.
*A president who brought terrorism into Nigeria (Bokoharam and IPOB terrorist)
* A president who is the grand patron of the Killer Herdsmen.
* A president who is Clueless.
You refer to a President with this character as best?
